Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a winding for a welding transformer and a winding for a welding transformer.
  • the winding is a secondary winding for the welding transformer.
  • Welding transformers are used in welding devices for producing a connection of workpieces made from metal.
  • the welding transformer is operated together with a welding tool, which is electrically connected to the secondary side of the welding transformer.
  • the welding tool may be guided by hand or a robot.
  • the transformer is often attached to the welding tool to omit a bulky high-voltage cable.
  • the transformer needs to be optimized in weight and size to make the handling of the welding tool easy. This facilitates, too, to keep the power consumption of the welding tool low.
  • the transformer transforms a primary alternating current into a secondary alternating current with the desired intensity and time characteristics.
  • the secondary side of the transformer is connected to a rectifier which rectifies the electric current output from the transformer and provides a direct electric current to at least one welding electrode of the welding tool.
  • the transformer and the rectifier may form a transformer-rectifier-unit.
  • electrode(s) of the welding tool contact(s) at least one workpiece.
  • the welding transformer is controlled such that it produces electric current flowing via the electrode(s) into the workpieces to melt the metal such that the workpieces are connected by a welding spot or a welding seam.
  • the transformer and the rectifier In the operation of the welding device, high electric currents are produced, which heat up the transformer and the rectifier. To avoid overheating of the transformer, the transformer and the rectifier have to be cooled.
  • the cooling may be accomplished by cooling water flowing through cooling channels formed in the windings of the welding transformer.
  • the windings, in particular the secondary winding, of the welding transformer form a part having a rather complex geometry and several components.
  • more than one component, usually several components, made of copper to build the windings, in particular the secondary winding, for the welding transformer.
  • the components are prepared by water-cutting the needed copper plates from a raw material.
  • the copper plates are machined to produce the required holes in the plates for the cooling channels and for assembling the plates to the welding device.
  • the machined copper plates are assembled and brazed to connect the copper plates.
  • a leaking test for the cooling channels is made to prevent cooling water leaking from the cooling channels.
  • a further drawback lies in that cooling water used to flow in the cooling channels is sometimes aggressive, especially if the cooling water contains sulfur. Such cooling water leads to corrosion destroying the brazed connections of the copper plates. This affects in particular brazed connections made by low content of silver brazing alloy. As a result, water is leaking from the cooling channels. Consequently, the cooling of the welding transformer cannot be secured. Moreover, the welding device may be damaged and/or polluted. Thus, the required quality of the welded products cannot be guaranteed. Due to a resulting failure of the welding device a machine breakdown may occur in a production line.
  • handling a one-piece profile is performed for forming a one-piece winding module which comprises a first winding element, a second winding element and a base element, wherein each one of the first and second winding elements protrudes from the base element and wherein the first and second winding elements are positioned spaced to each other at the base element so that the one-piece profile and the winding module have a t-cross-section.
  • the method further comprises the steps of milling at least one window into the first winding element so that the first winding element frames the at least one window for accommodating a part of a core of the welding transformer, milling at least one window into the second winding element so that the second winding element frames the at least one window for accommodating a part of the core of the welding transformer, and milling grooves into the base element to separate the base element into sections, wherein the grooves are milled such that at least one of the sections is connected to the first and second winding elements and such that at least one of the sections is connected to only one of the first and second winding elements.
  • the described winding enables in particular to cool a welding transformer in a stable and reliable manner.
  • the winding may be produced with less energy even if the shape or design of the winding is unchanged and thus still complex. This is very advantageous as regards a careful handling of resources.
  • a further advantage lies in that the described winding may be produced with less production steps than known complex windings. Namely, only milling is used for producing the copper module for the winding even if the complex form of the winding remains the same. Water-cutting and brazing is no longer necessary in producing the winding. Thus, tools and knowledge for performing these technologies are not necessary. As a result, the winding can be produced less intricate than in the state of the art. Instead, the method for producing the described winding is very time-efficient and demands lower costs than known processes in this regard.
  • the described winding does not have brazed connections. Thus, leaking is no problem anymore. This is also the fact, when aggressive cooling water is to be used in the cooling channels.
  • the use of the described winding can contribute to a stable welding process in which the welding may be performed with high quality. This qualifies the winding to be used in a welding device applied in an industrial process of a production line.
  • milling one window of the first winding element and milling one window of the second winding element is performed in one milling step.
